Hydrocortisone is a steroid medication that treats inflammation in the body. The drug comes in an oral form to take by mouth, and a topical form to apply to the skin.
Some kids ask to be left alone as early as 5 or 6; others enjoy having your company until they start approaching puberty, closer to 9 or 10. Bathing alone, however, can be risky because of drowning dangers, and it can take just a few seconds for even older kids to slip and drown in only a few inches of water.
Your child will feel very proud that he has started to bathe himself. Getting him his own tearless shampoo, personal towel and bathrobe will encourage their continued interest. At about 4 or 5 kids are able to get to most of the âhardâ places by themselves.
